Data must address: (a) completer impact in contributing to P-12 student-learning growth AND (b) completer effectiveness in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
2020-2021
On the Follow-Up Survey for Graduates, the question to request completers to share pre- and post-test data to show the impact on P-12 learning received 17 volunteers. However, of the five volunteers who submitted information, only two of the five volunteers submitted pre- and post-test data. Because the response rate was so low, the EPP reached out to school systems. We currently have one school system providing progress monitoring data for the 2020-2021 year of students in completer classrooms. In order to ensure no personal identifiable information is revealed the school system is working with the company to provide the data linked to the program (ECE, ELE, SEC-Math, etc.) We continue to reach out to completers to provide either progress monitoring data or pre-and post-test data. Now that school is consistently in-person and no longer vacillating between in-person, virtual and blended, teachers are back into one routine. Therefore, we think completers will send the requested data before the end of school this year.
From the two volunteers, the data shows all students showed learning growth from the pre-test to the post-test. Although this is an extremely small number, we plan to update this chart with additional data to show impact on P-12 learning during the Summer of 2022.

The data from the two Troy University completers consisted of a pre-and post-assessments. They administered a pre-assessment, taught the lesson, and then completed a post-assessment which was the same as the pre-assessment. The variable between the pre-test and the post-test was the instruction provided to students by the completer. The average score for the pre-assessment was 57%. The average score for the post-assessment was 87.6%. The impact on student learning indicated a 30.61% average gain from pre- to post-assessment and 100% of the students increased their learning growth. We expect additional data to be submitted by the end of the school year.
Additional data to support indicator R4.1a:
Focus Group Interview
Four individuals agreed to participate, one ELE major, two Collab K-6 majors and one double major of Collab K-6 and ELE. Although this is a very small group and does not represent all programs, it provided a deeper understanding of the impact completers have on P-12 student-learning growth. These completers were candid, providing suggestions to improve the program and commending faculty and instructional practices that helped them to positively impact student learning. However, when they were asked how they know they have a positive impact on P-12 student learning, they provided anecdotal stories of learning growth for specific students who were below grade level and how they made great gains to reach benchmark or almost reaching benchmark. They also indicated that the scores on their progress monitoring tests show students have increased in learning, even if by 2 points, which showed growth in student learning. These interviewees agreed to send progress monitoring data before the end of school.
2021 FOLLOW-UP SURVEY FOR GRADUATES
44.44% of the Troy University College of Education Department of Teacher' Education Completers that responded believe Very Well to Extremely Well that they are prepared to impact P-12 student learning. This may be due to the pandemic with schools changing from in-person to virtual to blended multiple times throughout the school year.
As we look over time, responses from
- 2019-2020 survey showed 59% of completers that responded believe Very Well to Extremely Well they are prepared to impact P-12 student learning
- 2018-2019, prior to the pandemic, 100% of completers that responded believe Very Well to Extremely Well they are prepared to impact P-12 student learning.
The timing of the 2019-2020 survey was at the time schools changed to virtual learning. Preliminary data from the 2021-2022 survey for graduates show a higher percentage of completers who believe Very Well to Extremely Well they are prepared to impact P-12 student learning. After reviewing the data from previous surveys and the survey for the current year, data shows the pandemic may have had a negative impact on completer’s beliefs of their impact on student learning.
Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 EMPLOYER SURVEY REPORT
The survey was changed to provide specific program feedback from employers. However, this change created a longer time period to complete the survey. Of the 27 employers who started the survey, no one completed it. Looking at past trends, 96.82% of employers who responded to the 2019-2020 survey and 86% of employers who responded to the 2018-2019 survey stated completers were Very Well to Extremely Well prepared to impact P-12 Student Learning.
2019-2020 EMPLOYER SURVEY COMMENT:
TROY graduates are very well prepared coming out of college.
2020-2021 EMPLOYER FOCUS GROUP COMMENT:
Both interviewed administrators strongly stated that I would like to hire more TROY graduates because they come to us well-prepared in knowledge and the course of study standards, and they look forward to working with P-12 students.
Data must address: (b) completer effectiveness in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions.
2020-2021
One large school system that hires many of our graduates from all programs shared completed teacher evaluations from the administrators at 8 schools ranging from early childhood to high school. This large school system hires many of our graduates from all programs. These evaluations conducted by administrators utilized a proprietary protocol. This observation tool evaluates teacher behaviors that influence P-12 learning and administrator comments included student behaviors. Observations are scored 0-Ineffective, 1-Developing, 2-Effective, 3-Exemplary. With less than 10 individuals listed most programs (indicated by an *), the EPP categorized the programs into Early Childhood and Elementary and Secondary (Middle school to high school).

Teachers observed for this data collection demonstrated overall effective teaching in applying professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. The Professional Knowledge indicator mean score was just below 2.0- effectiveness. Completers in the secondary group scored below effectiveness in Differentiation/Diversity. Although all programs are not represented in this data collection, scores indicate TROY completers have a positive influence on effective P-12 student learning.

2020-2021
The purpose of all certification programs in the College of Education is to develop practicing master teachers, instructional support personnel, and education specialists who more effectively serve students in P-12 settings. As master teachers, instructional support personnel, and education specialists, they participate as leaders in their schools and contribute to their profession.
Each candidate completes the state approved checklist for their particular program. Based on the recommendation to ALSDE, derived from the completion of the R & R/Review & Recommendation for Application Based on Completion of an Alabama Class A Program and Class AA Program and the Supplemental NA1/Recommendation for Certification forms. Two reasons have been uncovered as to why completers may not meet licensure requirements. One reason is that they have not submitted their licensure paperwork in a timely manner. Therefore, the submission shows up for the next academic year or years later. Another reason completers may not meet licensure requirements is that they have not been able to pass the Praxis exam in their field required by the Alabama State Department of Education.
2020-2021
2020-2021 FOLLOW-UP SURVEY FOR GRADUATES
90.63% of the Troy University College of Education Department of Teacher' Education Completers that responded indicated that they were employed full-time teaching.
3.13% of the Troy University College of Education Department of Teacher' Education Completers that responded indicated that they were employed outside of the teaching field.
100% of employers’ responding to the P-12 Employer Satisfaction Survey would continue to hire Troy graduates.
Some teaching field positions have limited openings. Teachers will earn their certification in another field in order to be ready to apply and be hired when there is an opening. For example, the number of gifted specialists in a school system are low. General education teachers will earn gifted certification to be eligible to be hired when a position opens up or a new one is created.
